I finally picked out our invitation! This was probably the most drawn out wedding decision yet! I found it challenging to find the "it" invitation. At first we were drawn to the very traditional rectangular ecru invitation. One requirement was that it needed some sort of border around it. and Curt also said no way to any elaborate floral design. We found a few that we liked, but nothing really completely echoed the formal yet relaxed chocolate-brown-fall-wedding theme. hee hee.
until yesterday...I met up with Bev at Carlson Craft and poured through some books. We came across a 5 x 5 square invitation that was not over the top, not fussy, but perfect. The size, color, and texture was perfect. sorry I don't have a picture, but if you are reading this blog you will probably get an invite in 6 weeks. hee hee.
here's a description of it online: Our heavily textured paper includes nature-inspired accents and opens to reveal your wording in a color that coordinates with your choice of satin ribbon. how fun!
here is something I read from a magazine, "as the main introduction to your event, the wedding invitation sets the tone for your wedding style." well...this is probably why I got extra finicky when it came to picking out the invitation. I can say this though...the brown satin theme will be played out in the bridesmaid dresses, invitations, the cake, unity candle, and possibly the favors!
go wedding!

So is your first born going to be named "Chocolate Brown"?.
FYI, a 5" by 5" card costs more to mail than a regular letter because there's a non-machinable charge. Oh, and if it weighs more than 1 oz, it's more also. See usps.com. Our invitations ended up being just over 1 oz. Things you learn with experience. :) I like the new pic.
